GREELEY — Weld County officials are again on the hunt for a dispatch software system that better serves residents — just a few years after purchasing the last one.

The current system used by dispatchers and employees with the jail, emergency medical services and others is called Spillman. It is slow and incompatible with the way that emergency responders operate, said Mike Wallace, Weld County’s director of public safety communications.

Wallace in December launched several audits of the system that confirmed what Wallace said he suspected — Spillman can’t perform at the level needed by those who use the Weld County Regional Communications Center.
